The 'X but without Y' meme involves creating remixes of films or videos by removing a specific object or element from them. This leads to humorous or absurd results, given the significance of the missing elements in the original context.
The meme originated with a video titled 'The Bee Movie But Without Bees,' posted on November 22nd by a YouTube user named That One Ghost Named Asdfghjkl. This remix sparked the trend by demonstrating the effect of removing key elements from well-known media.[1]
